Objectivity Adds New Plugin Framework, Integrated Visualizer And Support For Tinkerpop Blueprints To InfiniteGraph

Advanced Features Make It Easy for Developers to Create, Define, Repeat, and Visualize Results in Minutes

SUNNYVALE, CA–(Marketwire - February 21, 2012) - Objectivity, Inc. announced today the additions of a new Plugin Framework, integrated Visualizer, and support for Tinkerpop Blueprints in their graph database InfiniteGraph. These advanced features are designed to allow application developers to get started quicker, make queries reusable, and receive query results interactively. With InfiniteGraph, Objectivity brings to market commercially proven Big Data Analytics that complement existing infrastructure.

“Of the numerous varieties of NoSQL databases, graph databases have the potential to significantly alter the analytics sector by enabling companies to unlock value based on understanding and analyzing the relationships between data,” said Matt Aslett, research management, data management and analytics, 451 Research. “The new additions to Objectivity’s InfiniteGraph enable developers to achieve results in real time and also realize additional value by making the queries repeatable.”

Plugin Framework:InfiniteGraph’s Plugin Framework provides developers with the ultimate in flexibility and supports the creation, import, and repeated use of plugins that modularize useful functionality. Developers can leverage successful queries, adjust parameters when appropriate, test queries and gain real-time results. A Navigator plugin bundles components that assist in navigation queries, e.g. result qualifiers, path qualifiers, and guides. The Formatter plugin formats and outputs results of graph queries. These plugins can be loaded and used in the InfiniteGraph Visualizer, and reused in InfiniteGraph applications.

Enhanced IG Visualizer:The Visualizer is now tightly integrated with InfiniteGraph’s Plugin Framework allowing indexing queries for edges and export of GraphML and JSON (built-in) or other user-defined plugin formats. The Visualizer allows users to easily load plugins with enhanced control and navigation. Developers can parameterize plugins to control runtime behavior. Now every part of the graph is fully customizable and delivers a sophisticated result display for each query.

Support for Tinkerpop Blueprints:InfiniteGraph provides a clean integration with Tinkerpop Blueprints, a popular property graph model interface with provided implementations, and is well-suited for applications that want to traverse and query graph databases using Gremlin.

Release 2.1 also provides placement configuration tools for updates, such as adding new servers and additional storage. Additionally, Objectivity offers two Professional Service Pack (PSP) options to assist clients in migrating applications to the InfiniteGraph architecture seamlessly from single-server architecture applications or to quickly get started with evaluating a proof of concept.

“We have been solving the Big Data problem for decades,” said Jay Jarell, President and CEO of Objectivity. “InfiniteGraph’s new features and functionality allow developers greater flexibility when building applications to leverage complex data, without losing our real-time performance advantage. Removing complexity and reducing time to results is a priority for Objectivity. We are excited to help customers maximize their existing infrastructure investments by continuously improving our complementary solution for advanced Big Data Analytics.”
